Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
It depends on the signature card of the account. If the account is Joint Tenancy with Rights of Survivorship (JTWROS) or Payable on Death (POD) or Transfer on Death (TOD) or has a beneficiary designation, then a death certificate should suffice. In all other cases, an order from the probate court or letters testamentary / administration would be needed. In most cases, it's just easier to give the bank what they want for their internal bookkeeping purposes (in this case a death certificate) versus trying to explain to their staff why they don't need it.

Am I responsible for paying these medical bills after he passes and can anybody take the life insurance from me for his bills that are owed?

Make sure you are the beneficiary of the policy and not an estate or trust. In Michigan, the policy proceeds would then pass to you and be exempt from attachment by creditors.

How can I go about making a free will?

I do not know what a free will is. If you want to make a last will and testament in Missouri, you should have an attorney draft and execute it.
